MPR’s Tom Weber has — perhaps unwittingly, perhaps not — reignited my fire to reintroduce an idea I had for News Cut when we started it last winter: the two-minute tale. OK, this tale, perhaps, isn’t quite two minutes, but you’ll get the idea of the kind of thing I’m looking for. Tom did an excellent job.
You are doing interesting things that can be told in two minutes, and told visually. So let me know about it.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
